2004 Barolo DOCG Cru La Serra, Az. Agr. Giovanni Rosso

Davide's highest, ESE-facing vineyard, it's warmed by the early-morning sun, doesn't get too hot and bothered and is well ventilated...the result: a bracingly pure, crunchy-berried wine that carries the vintage beautifully, without losing sight of its roots. Still taut and temperamental, this is a wine for the cellar, one that will probably open up from 2013 onwards. One for lamb cutlets, yes sir!
(David Berry Green, BBR Buyer)

The 2004 Barolo La Serra reveals a feminine expression of Nebbiolo in its raspberries, red cherries, spices and menthol, with firm, sinewy tannins that give the wine impressive focus and length. This mid-weight Barolo is a terrific effort from Davide Rosso.
(Antonio Galloni - Wine Advocate - Oct 2008)

Soft and delicious, offering plum and berry aromas and flavors, with round tannins and a strawberry and light vanilla aftertaste. Polished and harmonious.
(James Suckling - Wine Spectator- Dec 08)

Like Pinot Noir on stilts, the best of the Nebbiolo grape can combine delicacy and power in distinctive style. So it is with the La Serra, a red whose promisingly vivid fragrance is confirmed by the richness and concentration of its red and black fruits flavours, enhanced by fine tannins and an almost bittersweet chocolaty bite.
